Today was such a great day! All of our butterflies 'hatched' and we even got to see one open up as we were watching!! We made a fun butterfly craft in celebration :)
In writing we talked about Voice and practiced using different techniques we saw in our model text. We want to start writing like real authors so we are trying to "try on" different styles of writing (what this means is that the kids will start writing with more descriptive language, using different tones in writing, trying to incorporate onomatopoeia, etc.)
In reading we continued working with the Henry and Mudge story and in math we talked about ounces and pounds. We found that a pound is more than an ounce and practiced comparing different things to see which was heavier. Try asking your student: which do you think is heavier, a _____ or a _______? You might be surprised at how interested the kids are in this and how methodical they are when considering your question.
HW binders went home today! Remember that the insect project is due on Friday!
THANK YOU to Sania's mom for helping us with our spelling tests today, Clara's mom for stopping in to do some paperwork-type stuff for us AND Louis' mom for stuffing those Friday folders!! We appreciate you!!
Have a great weekend :)
